[Intro]
F C Dm C C F
[Verse]
F C
Oh Father, forgive me for what I have done
Dm C C7
Drove 200 miles for six inches of love
F C
And he shined like the neon in the town's only bar
Dm C C
Slick as the needle and slim as the scar
[Chorus]
Bb C
Oh, I lost friends to heroin, plenty more to loving them
F A7 Dm
Strung out on the highway like we couldn't read the signs
Bb C
Now that I am older and burned a little colder
F A7 Dm
I know how to read betwen the lines
Bb C
But the only time I get these guilty thoughts
F Dm
Is when the pills wear off
Bb C
And what I call a love affair
F F
They say it was a death of despair
[Verse]
F C
They say I'll get over him, I just need time
Dm C C7
I thank Jesus sent an Angel, stuck needles in his thigh
F C
And the old freight trains they whistle and whine
Dm C C
They shake the whole damn house like we did when he was alive
[Chorus]
Bb C
Oh, I lost friends to heroin, plenty more to loving them
F A7 Dm
Strung out on the highway like we couldn't read the signs
Bb C
Now that I am older and burned a little colder
F A7 Dm
I know how to read betwen the lines
Bb C
But the only time I get these guilty thoughts
F
Is when the pills wear off
[Instrumental]
F C Dm C
F C Dm C C
[Break]
Gm C
Oh mother, don't ask me the things I have done
F A7 Dm
So selfish to fall for yourself and someone
Gm C
I know that I want him and always will
F A7 Dm
I don't think he could have known that it was fentanyl
Dm Bb C
But the only time I get these guilty thoughts
F Dm
Is when the pills wear off
Bb C
And what I call a love affair
F
They say it was a death of despair
Bb C
The only time I get these guilty thoughts
F C Dm C F
Is when the pills wear off
